NASCAR drivers expected to test at Daytona for 24-hour race

Some NASCAR drivers will get back in a car over the next few days as testing for the Rolex 24 At Daytona runs from Saturday through Monday.
Not all drivers who compete in the race will test for their teams in preparation for the Jan. 24-25 event at Daytona International Speedway. Most teams use four drivers to complete the 24-hour race.
Sprint Cup drivers on the current test days entry list are AJ Allmendinger (Michael Shank Racing) and Jimmie Johnson. (Bob Stallings Racing). Johnson, the three-time defending NASCAR Cup champion, likely will only test Monday. Part-time Cup driver Max Papis also is on the testing entry list, driving a Ferrari for Costa Racing.
Camping World Truck Series driver Colin Braun will be driving for Michael Shank Racing in a separate entry from the one with Allmendinger.
Several teams have not listed their drivers for the test sessions and the race. Cup driver Juan Pablo Montoya is expected to drive one of the entries for Chip Ganassi Racing, and Kurt Busch already has tested a Penske car at a previous session. The Penske team has not entered a lineup yet for this weekend’s test.
Kyle Petty has already tested with Orbit Racing, which hasn’t announced its lineup for the race.
Childress-Howard Motorsports, co-owned by Richard Childress, will participate in the test. Danica Patrick told the Los Angeles Times that she plans on driving a Childress entry along with Cup driver Kevin Harvick for the race. Sports-car veterans Rob Finlay and Andy Wallace are entered in the Childress car for the test.
